DIRECTOR'S DESK
I am writing to convey my very best wishes and sincere
appreciation to all of you as we wrap up an eventful 2016
and shift our momentum into the next calendar year. As
we reflect on the past year, I believe we have many reasons
to have enormous pride in our accomplishments and look
forward with enthusiasm to next financial year. In research,
there has been a lot of progress on Labeo fimbriatus, which
is one of the most desired species among carps. Mahanadi
rita, Rita chrysea, another important species in catfish family

in which higher growth and survival of larvae were noticed
when stocking density at 2-3 Larvae per litre was
maintained. Length-weight, width-weight and height-weight
relationship of cultured freshwater pearl mussel, Lamellidens
marginalis (Lamarck), one of the important candidate
species, was also determined for better understanding in
quality pearl production. Sustainable energy generation is
presumed to be one of the greatest challenges of our
generation. All long-term solutions rely on the direct or
indirect conversion of solar energy, yet these solutions
appear to be years/ far from implementation. A study on
Carbon sequestration is initiated in sewage-fed fish ponds.
Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness of the importance
of emerging diseases of aquatic animals and it is likely that
the risks of future disease emergence will be mitigated by
the development of improved diagnostic methods and
surveillance efforts. One report on “Carp edema virus
infection in koi carp: An emerging disease” has been
reported by the Institute referral laboratory for the first time
which may give a wakeup call for fish health management
group to get well prepared with control and preventive
measures to combat the future loss in the industry. Mr. K.
S. Shukla (Uttar Pradesh) has added another feather in our
cap with his success story in Designer Freshwater. The
presence of Dr. T. Mohapatra, Secretary DARE and
Director General, ICAR along with Dr. J. K. Jena, DDG
(Fy. Sc), ICAR and Dr. B. K. Das, Director, ICAR-CIFRI
in the Regional Research Center of ICAR-CIFA, Bangalore
has made us gratified. The visit of Sri Devendra Chaudhary,
IAS, Secretary, Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying
& Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare,
GoI to ICAR-CIFA Head quarters was significant. National
training on Freshwater pearl farming for entrepreneurship
development, training programme on “Recent advances in
freshwater aquaculture”, ICAR sponsored Winter School
on “Current trends in molecular diagnosis for better health
management in aquaculture” are some of the distinct
programmes conducted by the Institute. National workshop
on “Responsible use of antibiotics & chemicals: Impact on
animal health and aquaculture” was also organized during
the period. Outreach activities have been carried out in a
remote areas of our country i.e. in North East such as
harvesting from composite fish culture at Manushmari,
Bodo Teritorial Council Area, Dist: Udalguri Assam;
Harvesting programme and demonstration of Pig-Fish-Agri-
horti integrated system at Sonajuli, Dist: Papumpare,
Arunachal Pradesh and participation in Kisan Mela held
at Raha, Assam. Training programme on Ornamental Fish
Breeding and Culture was also organized at North Eastern

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
Growth performance of L. fimbriatus in culture tanks with
sugarcane bagasse
The growth and survival of L. fimbriatus in grow-out culture
of 100 days was studied when substrate was provided in two
orientations- viz. water column and tank bottom. The growth
and survival of L. fimbriatus in grow-out culture did not vary
when substrate was provided in vertical (SV) and bottom
(SB) orientations and were comparable with those receiving
feed (Table 1). Carcass of fish in feed treatment had higher
moisture and lower crude protein and fat contents. The total
planktonic genera recorded in periphyton from Substrate-
vertical treatment were 58 compared to 51 from Substrate-
bottom treatment. Substrate in vertical position harboured
56 genera of phytoplankton compared to 47 when substrate
was in tank bottom. More zoo plankton genera (4) were
recorded from substrate in tank bottom compared to that in
substrate placed vertically (2). Genera belonging to
Chlorophyceae were more followed by Cyanophyceae and
Bacillariophyceae. Other classes were represented by 3 or
less number of genera. The dry matter content of periphyton
varied from 0.7 to 2.0 (avg. 1.2±0.59) in SV and 1.0 to 2.4
(avg. 1.7±0.552) in SB treatments.
Both the dry matter and ash-free dry matter contents of
periphyton showed no difference (P>0.05) between the
substrate orientations. The total pigment content was
however, higher when the substrate was in vertical position
(avg. 50.2) compared to that in bottom (avg. 24.0). The mean
autotrophic index (AI) values of periphyton were 52.44 and
127.70 in SV and SB treatments respectively. The study
revealed that the growth and survival of L. fimbriatus in grow-
out culture did not vary when substrate was provided in water
column or tank bottom.

 SUCCESS STORY
Designer Freshwater Pearl Production by Tulsi Krishi
Vigyan Kendra, Ganiwan, Uttar Pradesh: A Success Story
of Mr. K. S. Shukla
Mr. Kamala Shankar Shukla, Scientist of Tulshi Krishi
Vigyan Kendra, Ganiwan, Uttar Pradesh has achieved a great
success in production of designer freshwater pearl in
composite fish culture pond. During 2013-2014 he attended
a training programme at ICAR-CIFA, Bhubaneswar on
‘Freshwater Pearl Farming for Entrepreneurship
Development’. He has been in constant touch with experts
of pearl culture unit of the institute and interacted several
times about improvements of freshwater pearl farming. He
had put implanted freshwater mussel Lamellidens marginalis
in enclosed net with freshwater carps in 0.4 ha pond.
Following the ICAR-CIFA technology for pearl production
and proper managements, he could get more than 2000
quality designer pearls along with good haul of fish.
A successful pearl grower like Mr. Shukla had completed
Bachelor of Fisheries degree from College of Fisheries,
Pantnagar and joined Tulshi Vigyan Kendra in Uttar
Pradesh. “The constant technical support of ICAR-CIFA
coupled with field experience helped me a lot to achieve the
success in freshwater pearl farming in Uttar Pradesh”, says
Mr. Shukla.
